Loads of leg room, comfy seat, cheap coffee. Just last week I had to attend a preview event in London and opted to go up to town via RailWorks 2. The spiralling cost of UK rail travel means more and more Britons are choosing to commute to work on train simulators.

As I live alone in a hut in the woods and trim my barnet with the aid of peanut butter and tame squirrels, I'll be devoting the following 1200 words to a free RailWorks upgrade, an imaginary 18th Century naval sim, and the winner of this year's hotly contested Wargame With Dullest Name competition. A responsible sims correspondent with a fashionable haircut and a gregarious disposition would spend this week's Flare Path talking about F1 2011's pleasures and disappointments.
